The 2015 list of the world's 50 most beautiful people was recently published by Sohu, one of China's most popular internet media, based on online voting. Although many famous stars from China, South Korea, and other countries, such as Fan Bingbing, Jeon Ji Hyun, Eddie Redmayne, and more show up, there are some big surprises in the rankings, and your favorite star may not even be on this list.

And now, the top 20 from the 50 Most Beautiful People in the World, according to Sohu:

20. Matt Damon - Award-winning American actor known for a long series of great movies such as Good Will Hunting and the Jason Bourne movies, He'll next star in a science fantasy adventure movie, The Great Wall, directed by Chinese director Zhang Yimou.

11. Sun Li - Chinese actress famous for the record-setting hit drama series Empresses in the Palace.

10. iKON - K-pop's newest boy band, which just debuted October 2015. Find out more about them HERE.

9. Wu Lei (Leoy Wu) - Turning 16 on December 26, he rose to fame for his performance in the extremely popular historical drama Nirvana in Fire.

8. Eddie Redmayne - He is a strong contender for Oscar's Best Actor award for his performance in The Danish Girl.

7. Liu Nuoyi - The 5-year-old cutie got his looks from his father, Chinese actor Liu Ye, and his mother, French photographer Anais Martane. He rose to fame when he started appearing on reality shows such as the Chinese Grandpas over Flowers and Dad, Where Are You Going?

1. Hu Ge - The already popular leading man recently mesmerized all of China in the historical romance drama Nirvana in Fire. You can also find him in Sound of the Desert on DramaFever.

Are you surprised by the results?

Perhaps the voting is influenced by what is currently hot in China. The popular Nirvana in Fire saw its actors Hu Ge, Wang Kai, and Wu Lei included in the list. While Jeon Ji Hyun placed #2 and is the top female star, Kim Soo Hyun, her equally famous co-star in My Love From Another Star, was placed in #29. It also defies logic that new group iKon is #10, but BIGBANG is #37.
